Homeland Season 5 Trailer!! **No spoilers for UK viewers please!** Title edited by MNHQ

[Hassled]

Here - scroll down a bit.

There's Quinn. There's Saul. There's the old bag-over-the-head routine. It's in Berlin. I am ridiculously excited.

I'm with you Poltergoose I said similar upthread.

Will give London Spy a watch Zebra love a good spy series.

It's ok! The cucumber chat is distracting

What channel is London Spy on? Although I prefer to see cucumber rather than sex toys on tv.

I thought he was trying to cable tie himself so he'd be found and taken to hospital If he had managed to tie himself and thrown himself in the water he would be a dead man, I think.

I think he was trying to die but make it look like someone else had done it. He's always had a bit of a deathwish.

Oh lordy, absolutely loving this thread! Just caught up with the last two pages and have been laughing like a loon at the cucumber, offie, Hair is Nails and Quinn the drama llama martyr

I bloody love Homeland but I genuinely don't have a clue what's going on in this season - I just go along for the ride every Sunday night! I think Creeping Man is definitely Israeli, but not sure what his motive is. I am DEEPLY suspicious of Carrie's boyfriend (is it Jonas?) and as for HAIR, I can't tell whether Saul is on a massive double bluff - I just cannot believe that he and Dar have not sussed her out by now! Can't wait for Sunday

I did watch London Spy and it was astonishingly good - one of those shows that stays with you and I keep finding myself thinking about it.

Poltergoose - I like your theory lots and I hope it's right (because I can't bear the thought of Suicidal Quinn) but that doesn't explain why he appeared to be trying to climb into a garbage bin.

I tried to open a roll top bin today and nearly wrecked myself, and I don't have a bullet wound.
Weasle Boy had no hope.

I just cannot believe that he and Dar have not sussed her out by now!

You are overestimating them. Carrie is the smart one. They were all fooled by terrorist Brodie.
Those two are just middle aged men who can't even plot a coup in Syria.

I love Homeland but this thread is better. Some of you are seriously funny ??

Duh I meant

But "hide in a bin" equals dead in a bin cos no-one is going to check if for randoms before they empty it. I think he was intent on martyring himself but the beardy man, who is rather cute I must say, was equally intent on stopping him.

lweji do you think? I just can't believe two beardy middle aged men can reach the higher echelons of the CIA and not suss out your classic femme fatale Russian double agent Have they never seen a Bond film for gods sake??

It's the hormones, the ego and that whiff of self delusion that middle aged men often have.

And she doesn't have a suggestive name either.
I mean, Hair? what is her name, again?

She's Allison. With 2 'l's which I think is suspicious in itself. Hope she ends up shipped off to the orcs as punishment. Or made to listen to elvish song and poetry for all eternity. And act it out through the medium of dance.

Am a bit disappointed with Saul this series. Carrie said something about him being different the last 2 years and I now grudgingly agree with her.

I also watched London Spy and thought it makes Homeland look like Spy-By-Numbers, tbh.

It was a mistake for them to continue past Brodie.
There was his story there, we followed his internal conflict.

All characters except Carrie have now become bidimensional. We haven't followed their story and can't empathise with them. It became a run of the mill spy series.
Except that MN threads make it much better.

London Spy? I might have to check it out. Is it....better...than Homeland?!

I wonder where Mi5 agents hide in similar circumstances. Tesco bins are out due to the bin raiding lentil wearers on reality TV programmes.

Not better, different.
Homeland is all big summer blockbuster.
London Spy more...lower budget Brit film, an Oscar outsider maybe?
